From the independent Of the l9th.

Mr.. A,::Smail and wife and George Ba-
ker and wife, of Wooster, drove to BIis-
toll last Sunday afternoon aud spent Q few
hours with friends.
The gang putting up the telegraph line
between here and Madison, have their
own boarding car with them.
D. w. Miller, who has charge Of con-
structing the telegraph line. had the mis-
fortune TO slip as he stepped out of one
of the boarding cars, falling and break
ing one,o OF his ribs. .He is movable TO be
around with the assistance of a cane.
The chief engineer of our line south
was in town Tuesday and located the
new "Y" definitely. it is to be put in on
the east side OF the new line.
Ed. C. Little spent Sunday here after
an absence of \ week in the new town
south. He says that burg is booming.
The latest rumor is to the effect that
the Southern Minnesota division will
make our railway south q part of the
main line from Ramsey to this city, and
what is now the main line from Madison
to Woonsooket, q short brancfi. This
will make our city n of the greatest d.

There is no aspect in which it can be
considered beneficial, either to morals
or religion, to the State or the individual
to industry or trade. As market for
our grain and grapes il is a waste; as an
employer it makes labor unproductive;
as a public business it pauperizes the
many for the sake of the constituencies
few; as n source OF taxation it pays the
State hardly a tenth Of it's cost. What
is 1t good for? To instruct in vice, to
harden IN crime, to reduce to poverty,
to paralyze Dawn and brain, to wreck
homes and to l,etray every interest neal
to an intelligent and prosperous people.
The fact Is. it conseTyes no good and

is there for 1t to remain among us? If a
building, an open well, a stagnant pool,

Does it pay to Drink Liquor

This is a pointed question which every
drinking man q proftably ask himself.
No matter how little lie may drink. yet
wlTen he counts up honestly each week
in tie year, how much he las spent in
The indulgence of an appetite which
brings sorrow and ruin to SO many
homes, he can ask himself the plain and
particular question, Does il pay to drink
liquor? Under the internal revenue laws
of this country it is easy 10 arrive at the
quantity of liquor manufactured and sold,
so that there is no guess work in saying
that THE annual drink bill Of the United
States, to the consumers. is rot less than
500, 000,ceC, making an average expendi-
ture of $3.50 for each tippler, estimating
the number who indulge in the drink
habit at Is, 000,e00. This certainly places
the number high enough, for of our GO,
100000 population at least three fourths,
which will include women and children,
can be numbered in the ranks of total
abstainers. In tile city of Chicago there
are $500 saloons. and il would lie a low
estimate to say that each saloon took in
an average Of s13 a day, OF in round
numbers $4,000 a day is spent in that
city for drink, making a total of SlI,G00,-
600 for each year. Is notthis an alarming
showing-Sl4 100000 for a city of less
than 100000 population.
Let us come nearer home in figuring
on this question. Day county has eight
saloons. 1t will be a low estimate to
average receipts of these saloons at Sl5
a day, taking the bad days witlithe good.
This makes $3.50 a day. Taking out 81
Sundays in the year that they are sup,
posed not t o do any business, and Day
county pays out THIRTY-EIGHT TOU-
SAND DOLLARS ANNUALLY FOR
WHISKY! Does it pay the drinking
man? For the temporary qualification o.
his appetite he pays out money that
would brig happiness and plenty TO his
home, help to pay his debts, and place
him On ali independent footing with his
fellows. Many a poor man pays out each
year more for liquor than would buy a
home for his family If he would save it,
lay it aside for that purpose.
Say, boys, figure up the cost and ask
yourselves the question, DOES 1T PAY
To DRINK LIQUOR?
The saloon must 60!

DIVISION PLATFORM,

RESOLVED. That we re-alirm the
declaration alIeady many times made,
in constitutional conventions, legislative
assemblies, and in memorials to congress,
that we ale u~nalterably opposed 10 adj
mission as O whole.
2. This convention declares for the
division of this territory into North Ia
kota and South Dakota, on the seventh
standard parallel, and that we seek such
division, for the reason, among others.
that good government economical and
well administered, will be more readily
secured thereby for both sections than
by admission as a whole. That thereby
we shall have our proper and rightTul
representation IN congress, preserve that
inst balance OF power to which a great
population should be entitled. and sec,irc
the highest permanent good for both
north and south Dakota.
!. That We earnestly urge upon the
people the great Importance of casting a
full vote upon this question.
4. That on behalf of the people OF
south Dakota, w extend to the people OF
north Dakota, greeting: And that we
cordially invite them to join in A large
and overwhelming vote for division upon
| the seventh standard parallel.
5. That the convention afirms its
conviction that il is the just and primary
right and province OF "a people about tu
be admitted to the union to designate
their state boundaries, subject to be
mDdified with their consent upon the
proposal of congress, for grave reasons
only affecting the general welfare.
And that due regard being had to the
circumstances and development of OAK
ota, to the history aud practice of the
government in the admission of states
and to the general welfare of the union.
All these considerations unite in dicta.
ting the division of the territory in ac.
cordance with the plan submitted by the
act OF the territorial legislature 10 the
suffrage Of the people at the November
election for 1885,,
8. That the communication of the re.
suit of such vote TO the president aud
congress as provided for inthe act oil
submission is founded upon the great
constitutional right Of petition; and that
we held 1t to be the duty of congress IN
the Just exercise OF its discretion to grant
the prayer of such petition.
Z. While we recognize the fact that
the constitution confers upon congress i
Just discretion in the admission of new
states, we protest against the unjust anG
tyrannous exercise OF power by refusing
to admit q new state into the union
upon an equal footing with other states
after having fulfilled the purposes O.
territorial life.
5. That our claims for division and
admission are of that importance 10 de,
mand the attention and support Of the
people of the United States without
distinction of party. and that in our eff
forts to determine our own boundarie:
and T. secure the full rights of citizens o

peal to their sense of Justice, to their
understanding of the blessings OF free
government to aid US in our cause.
3. That this convention approves and
endorses the efforts of Senator Dawes
and others during the sessions OF the
foity eighth and forty-ninti, congress,
looking TO the opening to settlement OF
a portion of the great sioux reservation.
10. That We respectfully request the
president of the United States the secre-
tary of the interior and the commission
er of Intlian affairs to recommend to the
fiftietli congress the passage OF a measure
providing for the opening TO settlement
of a portion or q whole of the great
Sioux reservation, aud we respectfully
request the members of the tiftieth con-
gress to pass such AN act.
IL. That the denial of our right to
division and admission for so long a
period after compliance with all the
conditions and requirements for adj
mission is without precedent in the
history of this government and contrary
to the principles on which the govern
ment is founded; and if a people pos
scssing the territory, the wealth, the in.
t~elligence, morality and the population
requisite for a great commouwe wealth
can so long be kept out of the union, by
the exercise of arbitrary power, we may
well feel uncertain for the future and o.
the security of u republican lnstltu
tons.

Here is a snake lie that gets away with
'em all: "Mr. Aderhold, of Douglasville,
Ca, saw a large snake swallow a nest Of
partridge Eggs on which the partridge
had been sitting and was nearly ready to
hatch. Later Mr.. A. came across the
same snake, surrounded by a coyey of
young cartridges. the eggs having been
Matched while in the snake. After this
his ~snakeship was observed passing thro'
the oats with its head elevated about
even with the top Of the oats, which
were headed out, and an examination
showed the astounding fact that the
snake was picking the kernels from the
oat heads and dropping them on the
ground to feed the young partridges.
